Paul Walker

Paul Walker occupies a tender spot in my memory. The Fast & Furious films could have stayed disposable popcorn, but his easy warmth as Brian O'Conner gave the franchise its conscience, the ordinary guy anchoring an increasingly absurd world. What deepens my respect is that the car obsession wasn't an act; he genuinely raced, which is why nothing behind the wheel ever felt performed. His death in 2013 at forty was a cruel irony the movies themselves had to mourn. That his foundation still operates says something about who he was off camera. Some actors are admired; he was simply liked, and that is rarer.
